  • My grandad was a jazz musician and I would love to learn more so I can play his favourite songs

  • Thanks so much for this. I'm completely self-taught on bass. I've always wanted to be able to solo or just jam but felt like there was so much I didn't know. Like you said on chord recognition, I've always felt like the other musicians were doing witchcraft I couldn't understand.

    But you did such a great job here showing the path from the very basics to jamming with a band. And for the first time, I feel like I can see where I am on that path (further than I thought!) and what steps I need to keep walking it.

    Thank you!

  • Jazz is about improv, but you have to know the chord harmony of whatever chart or jam to be able to improv to it

  • I love rock and metal especially, but when I think about bass I want to play blues, funk, and jazz (Ok, Maiden too). I played jazz as a kid in school on trumpet, and we all loved e.g. John Patitucci. Later I was introduced to Jaco, Larry Graham. I'm also fascinated and intimidated by the complexity of jazz harmony.

  • Terminator mode. I had to make up my own music theory system and it was really similar to number system as letters and words dont make sense for me.

    i use numbers for everything and had to learn letters to work with others.

    Im not even playing bass anymore (Just electronic production) but always get so much from SBL.

    Thanks Scott

  • I’ve performed both upright and electric in many genres and Jazz is absolutely a must learn for theory and improvisation it’s beneficial for all other types of genres

  • Having already done the Jazz Accelerator, I was well interested in the Jazz Lab. It sounds like an amazing experience.

    However, I’m retired now and I just don’t have that much spare money to splash out. Guess I’ll carry on working with local teachers and courses.

    Oh, and as for tone? In the big band, I play a P-bass with flatwound strings, or an Electric Upright Bass. Either sounds good for that music.
